you boys come across as angry young men. chill out.

LOL. If there is a porpoise to the fantasies of mammals like Molly and Buxie, it is beyond me. How else can you justify the incomprehensible hots the dim duo have for a nifty but narrowband add-on tech like HDR with a restrictive royalty structure when, as we speak, some deep hooks and common platform elements are being tested and retested between fixed and mobile 3G WCDMA and 4G in the 7 or 8 wideband CDMA REAL WORLD trials going on around the world. Forrester Research estimates that a full-blown deployment of 2.5 GPRS (85%) globally would cost about $100 billion. That's not an inconsequential number. One only needs to consider that infrastructure and handsets combined accounted for about $100 billion in global revenues last year. Moreover, wireless voice is STILL driving demand and wireless data requires supply lines to align behind superior economies of scale, standards (global frequencies, protocols, circuit/IP) to be evolved and better price-performance.

There seems to be no way but to be oblique with these arelevant IDC-bashing charlatans. In view of the fact that the ITU will formalize the specifications of each of the 5 standards in the 3G family of standards in a couple of weeks (3/7 to 3/10), this article about architecture might be relevant to understanding the larger order of things:


Life and Complexity in Architecture From a Thermodynamic Analogy
Nikos A. Salingaros
math.utsa.edu

Architecture affects mankind in a predictable way, and it has its own set of fundamental laws. We have proposed three laws for architecture that are based on the work of Christopher Alexander. An analysis of architectural forms distinguishes three different aspects: (1) the small scale; (2) the large scale; and (3) linking all the intermediate scales together through hierarchical coherence. This paper examines how the small and large scales contribute to the success of a building independently of HIERARCHICAL COHERENCE......
